I was born in South Korea and moved to the US when I was very young. I grew up in West Jordan and now reside in Davis County. I’m married and have 4 children. I love sports, mainly football and Volleyball. I love to try and cook and enjoy being with my family. I have a bad obsession for Mountain Dew, and Korean food is my favorite. I graduated from Weber State with a Bachelors in Organizational Communications. I’m currently completing my MBA in Healthcare Administration. I have a passion for working with seniors and love to listen to the stories and experiences they have. I’m extremely excited to be a part of the Abbington family here in Murray.
